DoForMe was founded by James Tan in January 2014 after his little 8 year old son passed away when he was at work. During his late son's last weeks, James stayed with his son in a hospital's single sterile isolated room & he would stay in the room and awaken each early morning, shower, dress up at the ward and go off to work and his wife took turns to be with his son who needed to be in close watch by the doctors.

He experienced the need to have someone, some friends, or anyone who could do for him and his wife tasks and errands and would gladly pay for a fee for such "doers" eg; run essential errands (eg buy things, do specific tasks, foods purchases, buy pet food and feed his pets, do minor fix its), go to a shop look for some materials and or photostat some documents and pass to someone, misc of errands for his household and his aging parents while he stayed in the ward room for weeks and months... James was a senior manager in a Logistics company & although Logistics companies have manpowers and truck and van resources, they are doing outsourced works on commercial storage and deliveries and not miscellaneous errands & assignments that are not classified as commercial logistics.

James had to take urgent leaves and prolonged leaves & time offs as his little son needed close watch and care. Eventually his corporate HR asked him what he intend to do as the company cannot have an employee having so much attention off work..
Soon, fatefully, one day, while he was at worksite doing his employment work, his wife call frantically & said that son suddenly went into a seizure and by the time James got to the hospital ward, it was too late. His son was already inside the CU and doctors where frantically trying to resuscitate him and he passed away without having seen or talk to him for the last time. This was the consequence of working at site fulltime!..
When grief was manageable, DoForMe.com was conceived & its setup is not to just resolve the need for extra hands (doers) to help the constrained but also that these "Doers" do tasks and errands and assignments for income (like outsourced personal logistics services) especially those unable to be at fulltime job and at worksite whole day as loved ones need caretakings, or that they have life essential life issues that need to be resolved which they cannot resolve if they are on a fulltime employment working at site 8-12 hours a day. Doers help those in need or extra helps with errands, tasks needs and favours and not just deliveries which logistics companies do, Doers would be the articulate hands and legs extensions and do more than just deliveries which the gig platforms are currently doing... The "Doers" solve the needs for favors and errands and synergetically themselves takes up assignments in flexible ways and not stuck to a corporate job 9 to 5pm when they cannot commit to full day jobs & would suffer termination of job as they are unable to commit all hours of the days at work.
Requestors of tasks and errands simply call/whatsapp their tasks needs and negotiate a doer-fee$, make online payments(Paylah/Paynow/transfers and they get a safe, knowledgeable/skilled known person doing the tasks for them. DoForMe.com spent much money on IOS and Android apps for tasks placements but due to clients prefereing humanely articulate descitpion of their needs, whatsapp/callsare better way to service DoForme tasks requestors.
